Fact: UTI's are a pain in the Urethra

I am on my second for the year. Its the worst I've had yet. I understand the whole reasoning behind seeing a doctor, but then again, I feel like their are some services they shouldn't charge a copay for. $15 to pee in a cup and hand me a presciption? Seriously ! I guess they gotta make some money somehow but come on. Luckily I am okay and not dying of some new age pelvic condition as I had worried. I am a bit of a hypochondriac. Not to the extent of most but just a bit. I dont think about being sick until I am sick and then, I am positive that I am going to be diagnosed with the absolute worst thing possible.

When I was 15 for instance I had strep throat very bad. Two days into my penicillin I got a CRAZY rash over my entire body. It itched like I had just moved into a mosquito colony filled with nettle furniture. I was so afraid to show my parents that I wore long sleeves and jeans to cover it.-This of course, being fueled by heat made the rash even worse. Eventually turning me into a giant, red, walking welt that my parents could not miss. See, I was for sure being the promiscuis young lady that I was...I would be found to have some horrifying disease like Syphillis or worse, Aids!(Little harlet, I am actually very lucky I didnt end up with something!)-HINDSIGHT AGAIN-DOH!!
 Then I would have had to admit to my Dad that I was in fact a very bad girl. That I feared would have been worse than such a terrible diagnosis at the time.Turns out, I was just allergic to Penicillin. Seems like (thankfully) that has been the pattern in my life, fearing the worst - ending up with the least. I pray it continues like that forever. Oh and, EFF YOU UTI !!!
